There Are Fewer Women CEOs Than Ones Named John - BuzzFeed News. Fewer Women Run Big Companies Than Men Named John. Photo Fewer large companies are run by women than by men named John, a sure indicator that the glass ceiling remains firmly in place in corporate America.

Among chief executives of S.
&P. 1500 firms, for each woman, there are four men named John, Robert, William or James. We’re calling this ratio the Glass Ceiling Index, and an index value above one means that Jims, Bobs, Jacks and Bills — combined — outnumber the total number of women, including every women’s name, from Abby to Zara. Thus we score chief executive officers of large firms as having an index score of 4.0.
Please can we stop making men called John CEO? Thanks. Off the back of this, the New York Times has created its own ‘Glass Ceiling Index’.

It compares how many women hold positions at the top of a company, compared to the number of men with these names. So the index score for large companies overall, is four. They claims it shows that the 'glass ceiling' is just as impermeable as ever.
Men named John hold more CEO titles than all women CEOs combined. According to a recent report by The New York Times, more leadership roles at S&P 1500 are filled by men named John than all women, with a ratio of roughly four male CEOs named John to every woman as a chief executive.

Why Women's Path To Success Often Looks Different. Despite the fact that women make up over half the workforce, few climb higher than middle-management positions to ascend to C-suite positions (CEO, CFO, COO).

Wendy Wallbridge, author of Spiraling Upward: The 5 Co-Creative Powers for Women on the Rise, says that one of the reasons is because women have a different path to success than that followed by men. Success Defined Differently By The Genders Women, Wallbridge argues, rarely have a straight-and-narrow roadmap to the top. The reason, she says, is because women define success differently than men. The traditional career path, she argues, is linear in shape and was created by men who pursued power for the sake of power.

Page. Gender bias in student evaluations: Professors of online courses who present as male get better marks.
Many in academia have long known about how the practice of student evaluations of professors is inherently biased against female professors.

Students, after all, are just as likely as the public in general to have the same ugly, if unconscious, biases about women in authority. Just as polling data continues to show that a majority of Americans think being a man automatically makes you better in the boss department, many professors worry that students just automatically rate male professors as smarter, more authoritative, and more awesome overall just because they are men. Now, a new study out North Carolina State University shows that there is good reason for that concern. One of the problems with simply assuming that sexism drives the tendency of students to giving higher ratings to men than women is that students are evaluating professors as a whole, making it hard to separate the impact of gender from other factors, like teaching style and coursework. The results were astonishing.
Five Ways You Can Promote Gender Equality in Your Workplace
Gender equality continues to be one of the largest movements of our generation.

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- The Iowa Supreme Court on Friday stood by its ruling that a dentist acted legally when he fired an assistant because he found her too attractive and worried he would try to start an affair. Coming to the same conclusion as it did in December, the all-male court found that bosses can fire employees they see as threats to their marriages, even if the subordinates have not engaged in flirtatious or other inappropriate behavior. The court said such firings do not count as illegal sex discrimination because they are motivated by feelings, not gender.

The ruling upholds a judge's decision to dismiss a discrimination lawsuit filed against Fort Dodge dentist James Knight, who fired assistant Melissa Nelson, even while acknowledging she had been a stellar employee for 10 years. Knight and his wife believed that his attraction to Nelson – two decades younger than the dentist – had become a threat to their marriage.

Photo by Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images Almost a decade ago, the writer Linda Hirshman exhorted ambitious women to marry men with less money or social capital than they had. In articles and her book, Get to Work, she told women that they should avoid ever taking on more than half of the housework or child care. How to do it? Either marry a man who is extremely committed to equality, or do what she says is the easier route and “marry down.” Hirshman explained in the American Prospect that such a choice is not “brutally strategic,” it’s just smart.
